right-click start menu items
I am no longer able to right-click on anything in my "All Programs" list and
select open, so I can have a window open to see everything in that program list. The only thing I changed was I installed Tweak UI and used it to remove the arrows from the shortcuts on the desktop. What do I need to change so I can start using mt right-click again?

Re: right-click start menu items
Try turning off then on, there isn't any intelligence in these routines. A wrong unexpected value may show as ticked.
What other symptoms can you find?

Re: right-click start menu items
I tried uncheck apply then check and apply still no change.
I can right-click everywhere except in the programs list, I noticed that explore also doesn't work. "David Candy" wrote: > Try turning off then on, there isn't any intelligence in these routines.

Re: right-click start menu items
But all others work? If so this symptom is called by a context menu extension that is faulty and is answering Explorer YES I do the open command when it doesn't. Because it only shows up here it is generally not noticed.

Re: right-click start menu items
Deleting all five of them fixed the problem. I still have the exported
copies if I encounter a problem later that I think might be a side-effect from the fix. "David Candy" wrote: > But all others work?

Re: right-click start menu items
Now what you do is merge (ie double click) the file one by one. And note which file the problem reoccurs. Don't just stop here. We''ve disabled a large part of windows functionality. This is finding the exact problem one. Keep the files till I say otherwise.
